“Sophia was amazing. From the moment we dropped off me and my husband both felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our baby with her. We were updated throughout his whole stay with pictures. He went on walks, and got to play with other friends. We will definitely be booking her again ❤️”
“I cannot recommend this dog sitter enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only did she take incredible care of my dog, but she went above and beyond by picking her up and even giving her a bath before bringing her home. Her patio is perfect for high-energy dogs, with plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy safely. It was such a relief knowing my dog was getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My pup came home happy, clean, and exhausted from all the fun she had. I would trust her with my dog again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional dog sitter!”
“Would definitely recommend! I know my girl had a great time here (apparently she loved the pool). Kayla/Richard provided photos throughout her stay and updated us on what she had been up to. Will definitely be using in the future!”
“David and Krysta are the best! They kept us in the loop updates and lot of pictures. Our pups looked so happy and spoiled the whole time! They were super flexible when my flight got in a little early and had everything packed up and ready to go when I got there. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Very happy with our experience with Chelsee! Our pups were very well taken care of during their stay with her. She also provided detailed daily updates & lots of pics! Highly recommend Chelsee to take care of your pets, she was awesome!!”
“Ms Ruby had a fantastic weekend getaway! I received plenty of updates of how she was doing and pictures of how much fun she was having. Finished it off with a spa day! Will definitely have Tami watch her again when I travel!”
“My husband and I were so happy to have found this very sweet family to take care of our Rosie! They definitely made our medical trip much easier knowing she was loved and well taken care of.”
“We were thrilled and felt so comfortable leaving our 3 dogs with Gabriella! The dogs were so happy and obviously well cared for staying with her. She kept us informed and sent daily photos which we appreciated. So happy to have found her!”
“Betina was amazing with my dog Griff! He’s a senior dog and needed lots of extra care during his stay and she was so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Betina if you’re looking for quality care for your fur babies!”
“Mary was an absolute doll. She kept me well informed of Kumas stay. She made sure to keep Kumas schedule to the dot & she helped me keep him from chewing all of his personal stuff for his crate. What a wonderful woman. I definitely recommend her, I’ll be booking her again for my holidays next year. ☺️☺️”
“Such a wonderful, safe, and loving sitter! We felt totally comfortable with Brittany and her home for our sweet, older dog who has medical issues and anxiety. We got pictures and updates every day and knew that he was comfortable and well taken care of!”
“Always takes the best care of our Sophie!! So sweet and loving to our pup, and considerate of us with her daily updates and being flexible when our plans had a major hiccup coming home. Would recommend to any/everyone!”
“Erik took such great care of my dog! He sent pictures and updates everyday. He took my dog on many walks/runs! I would highly recommend Erik to anyone that is visiting the Emerald Coast area and is in need of dog care!”
“I am so thankful that I met Carla and her son! They were both so gentle and sweet with my senior and I had great peace of mind knowing they were taking great care of Bella while I was out of town. Carla gave Bella her medicine and prepared her special low protein diet just as the vet prescribed :) I received plenty of texts, pictures, & videos showing me how loved my Bella felt at their home! I couldn't be happier and I am looking forward to seeing them again!!!”
“Josie did a great job watching our little dog, Wallace! She made sure that Wallace felt welcome and sent many pictures to let us know that he was happy! She was very thorough with details before we arrived. I highly recommend Josie to watch your dog!”
“We loved having Charlie stay with Marissa! We were thankful to have someone available last minute during the Christmas season who took such good care of our dog! Between the pictures and daily feedback we could see Charlie was extremely comfortable and made himself at home! Definitely someone we can come back to and refer others to take their fur-babies to stay.”
“Anna is incredible! ? While we were away, we didn’t stress once about our golden retriever being taken care of. She sent pictures daily and took such great care our little guy! If you want someone to spend quality time with your fur friend, Anna should be your go-to rover!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in DeFuniak Springs on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of DeFuniak Springs sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which DeFuniak Springs landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their DeFuniak Springs home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your DeFuniak Springs.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your DeFuniak Springs sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
